INDEMNITY LANDS,

Secretary Lamar Issues an Ord er
Making Restorations to the Domain
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - Secretary
Lamar to-day issued an order directing
that all lands heretofore withdrawn and
held for indemnity purposes under grants
to the following named railroad companies
be restored to the public domain and
opened to settlement and entry under the
general law, after giving the usual
notice: South and North, Alabama
Selma, Rome and Dalton, and Alabama
and Florida, in Alabama; Florida, Atlantic
and Gulf Central; Pensacola and Georgia
and Florida and Alabama, in Florida, and
several Northwestern roads. While it may
be presumed, says the Secretary, that there
is but a small amount, if any, of vasant un-
appropriated lands within the indemnity
limits of these roads, the fact that the with
drawals still remain in force, renders this
order necessary to the final settlement of
the grants

POWDERLY'S ILLNESS.
He is Suffering Great Pain From the
Rupture of Blood Vessel.

AupJuTo Ol u DlOOo v S6SOls
SCRANTON, PA, Dec 16.-Grand Master
Workman Powderly's condition has not i'm
proved during the past twenty-four hours,
and the belief exists that he is much worse
than his relatives and attending physicians
desire to make known to the public. The
intelligence from the bedside of the labor
chief has been unsatisfactory for two rea-
sons. In the first place reporters have been
10th to annoy the members
of Mr.. Powderly's household by
frequent visits and pressing questions
which could have no other result than
already rests heavily. The physician in
the case, DR.. w. E. Allen, has therefore
been relied upon chiefly for information
concerning the sick man, and the secretive-
ness, which is generally characteristic of
members of the medical profession, has
been formidable barrier to the inquisitive-
ness of the men of the press, who have
taken DIR. Aliens off-hand statements con-
cerning Mr.. Powderly's condition as an in
dication that the patients illness is of a
trivial nature and that complete recovery
is only question of day or two.
IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
The fact of the matter is that he is in a
critical condition and has been so since his
arrival here last Tuesday. Yesterday the
symptoms were alarming, another severe
attack of hemorrhage having set in which
continued with distressing effect until early
this morning. Dr. Allen said this morning
that Mr.. Powderly was suffering great pain,
the result of the rupture of a small blood
vessel, but that if he remains quiet for a
few days and gets rest he will probably re-
cover Thomas O'Reilly, President of the
Telegraphers' Union, who came here at the
instance of the General Executive Board,

After the Holiday Recess.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Speaker has
found his task of selecting the committees
so difficult this session that he will not be
able to announce them until after the holi-
day recess, which will run from Dec. % to
Jan. 4, under the resolution which the House
adopted to-day and the Senate will adopt
Monday. A good many members will go
away, and those who remain will not be so
persistent, and so he will be able to finish the
list with some satisfaction. He will proba-
bly, announce the Committee on Rules on
Monday, however. so that it can be at work
on the numerous propositions to amend the
rules pending and to be presented next
week. Naturally enough the Speaker
would like TO have the contest against him
out of the way before he announces his
committees. The Committee on Elections
will probably agree upon a report during
the holiday recess. 1t will not take long,
for there is only one important question of
law to be passed. upon, no testimony being
needed The committee will unquestionably
report in Mr.. Carlisle's favor, and probably
by unanimous vote.

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.-Dr. A.
Brondel writes, in the Bulletin Cen
e|at de Therapeutique of November Is,
1886, concerning the treatment of
diphtheria by benzoate Of sodium, and
asserts that of two hundred consecu-
tive cases he has not lost single one.
He admits the possibility of mistaken
diagnosis in some instances, but, even
excluding fifty per cent on this account,
he still has one hundred cases without
a death. His method is as follows:
Every hour the patient takes table
spoonful of solution of bepzoaie Of
sodium, fifteen grains to the ounce,
and at the same time one sixth Of II
grain OF sulphide of calcium in sirup
or granule. In addition to this the
throat is thoroughly sprayed every
half hour with a ten per cent solution
Of beHzoate of sodium. This is done
religiously at the regular intervals.
day aud night. but no other local
treatment is employed. No attempt
is made to dislodg- the false mem
brane, aud no penciling nor painting
of the fauces is resorted TO. Tonics
are given and antipyretics are used
when occasion calls for them. The
nourishment consists Of beef Juice, ten
der rare meat, milk etc, but bread
and all other articles which may cause
irritation OF the throat are forbidd u.
Tae sick room is kept filled with steam
from vessel containing carbolic acid,
turpentine. and oil of eucalyptus in
water.
The employment of benzoate Of
soiIum Is hot new method IN the
treatment of diphtheria, for it has been
tried and is recommended highly by
Letzerich, Kien, Ferreol, and others.
But this, OF course, speaks so much
tie more strongly in favor OF the rem
edy; and as Dr. B-ondel's results were
better than those obtained By others
using the same drug, it is to be pre-
sumed that his method of employing

tar smoke is the best thing in the
world for diphtheria. 1t dissolves the
fibrous exudations that choke the
patient and gives relief almost instant
iy. The plan has been tried by many
doctors IN New York and found most
efiicacioGs. 1t consists in closing Up
a room 90 that none of the smoke can
escape. and then burning a quantity
of pitch on q red hot shovel or stove.
